AA Waste is based in Woking, Surrey, Chard, Somerset and Southampton, Hampshire. From these bases we provide a UK nationwide service for the packing, collection, recycling and disposal of thousands of chemical, hazardous, non-hazardous and special waste streams every year for companies and authorities across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
AA Waste deal with many different waste streams, one of them being battery disposal which has become a major issue in the UK. There are a number of different types of battery or cells, which come in an endless range of shapes and sizes. Listed below is a summary for the recycling of lithium Ion (Li-Ion) batteries.
Lithium ion (Li-Ion) batteries are used as frequently as the NiMH in special applications such as laptops and are expensive to produce therefore they are expensive to buy, they have about twice the energy density of the NiCad and NiMH therefore can be much lighter and smaller for the same capacity. The lithium ion (Li-Ion) battery can be recharged up to a thousand times. The lithium in them is a very reactive element, which could lead to explosive consequences. If any cells rupture they could cause fire, therefore lithium ion (Li-Ion) batteries should be stored carefully. These batteries are a recyclable battery. AA Waste will collect your spent lithium ion (Li-Ion) batteries and take them to a fully licensed recycler where the recycling process begins. The recycling of lithium ion (Li-Ion) batteries makes our recycling service successful from both environmental and cost perspectives.
